"Hello viewers, this is Sky TV.
"I'm your old friend Carragher and sitting next to me is my old partner Alan Shearer.
"The focus of this fifth round of the Premier League will be narrated by the two of us.
"First introducing the starting lineups of both sides.
"Manchester United deployed a 4-3-3 offensive formation in this game,
" goalkeeper De Gea,
"The back four of Rojo, Blackett, Evans and Rafael,
"The midfield three is Di Maria, Blind and Herrera.
"The front three is Falcao, Rooney and Robin van Persie.
"Rooney is slightly further back, standing in the No. 9 and a half position, so his options are more flexible.
"On the bench, there are Phil Jones, Fletcher, Ashley Young, Valencia, Fellaini, Hernandez and many other good players.
"It can be seen from this fierce attacking formation that Van Gaal is ready to fight for this game.
"Leicester City still uses the familiar 4-4-2 formation.
"Goalkeeper Schmeichel,
"Four defenders De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, Danny Simpson,
"The four midfielders are Xia, Drinkwater, Cambiasso and Mahrez.
"The double forwards are Vardy and Ulloa.
"On the bench sit Albrighton, James, Knockaert, Schlupp, Hammond and other players.
"In the last game against Wolfsburg, Leicester City rotated several important positions.
"This game still features all the main players.
"It seems that Leicester City are not relaxing at all about this game."
After Carragher finished speaking, Alan Shearer next to him curled his lips: "Relax at all? Why should Leicester City relax? They are now at the top of the league, and Manchester United is only 13th in the league." A dialogue between the strong and the weak, Why Relax??.
Carragher: "As you said, no matter how lucky Leicester City is to win consecutive games, they are just a newly promoted team from the Premier League and have no foundation."
Alan Shearer: "Why are you so unfavorable towards Leicester City?"
Carragher: "Because I don't think they can."
Alan Shearer: "Then I have to ask you, of the two teams in this game, who do you prefer to win?"
This sentence stopped Carragher.
As a former Liverpool vice-captain, he would not want Manchester United to win even if he were killed.
But he had already expressed his displeasure with Leicester City, so how could he vomit his nonsense and eat it again?
After thinking for a long time, Carragher shook his head: "I have decided to objectively evaluate the game. It doesn't matter who wins or loses."
Alan Shearer: "This is an objective evaluation of football? So it means that it was not objective before?"
Carragher: "This..."
Seeing Carragher's deflated look, Alan Shearer burst out laughing!
At this time on the pitch, the referee's whistle sounded.
The game begins!
Manchester United took the lead in the first half!
"Herrera and Blind passed the ball and the ball came to the left.

"And then Eluded Ulloa's leg!

"The ball went in???

"The referee's whistle sounded, foul, the goal is invalid!
"He signaled that Falcao had just pushed someone in the penalty area?
"Let's see the video replay.
"As expected.
"The moment Falcao received the ball, he pushed Leicester defender Simpson and bought himself time and space.
"This penalty is fine.
"Falcao didn't argue. He bent down and helped Simpson up.
"The players on both sides are still very friendly."
In the opening wave of attacks, Manchester United almost blasted away Leicester City's goal.
The home team fans in the stands exclaimed for a while.
The game continued, Leicester City passed the ball to Drinkwater from the center.
Drinkwater saw an opportunity and took a long shot.
The aim of the shot was good and the power was good, but the angle was a bit positive and was punched out by De Gea.
Next, it's Manchester United's offensive moment again.
"The ball goes to Herrera!
"Who Passes it straight to Rooney!
"Rooney passes it to Di Maria!
"Di Maria makes a non-stop cross!
"Looking for Van Persie at the back!
"Van Persie volleys from the far end of the penalty area!
"The ball slipped out!
"This shot is so cool!
"If it were a little more on target, this would be the best goal in the Premier League this round!
"Excellent!"
With two consecutive attacks, Manchester United had an absolute advantage in the first five minutes.
But this is just a reflection of the tactics of both sides.
Leicester City stabilized their defense in the opening and did not make any advances.
Schmeichel threw the ball to Xia Xing who was returning to defense.
Xia Xing knocked the ball to De Laet.
The two looked at each other, and Xia Xing began to move forward quickly!
With the tacit understanding between brothers, De laet knew what Xia Xing wanted to do!
He didn't release the ball and started controlling the ball where he was.
This allowed Manchester United players to see an opportunity!
Van Persie and Herrera both pressed forward!
De Laet directly kicked...
But didn't pass!
It's just a fake move!
He suddenly pulled the ball and made a long pass!
Sticking to the left sideline, the ball moved straight ahead!
Ahead, Xia Xing has begun to speed up!
"Great ball protection from De Laet, he passed the ball!
"Great pass!
"Xia received the ball near the center line!
"What choice will he make?
"Will it be to advance step by step?
"He went alone!
"Xia started sprinting along the left wing with the ball!
" Leicester City, which had been fully defensive at the beginning,
"suddenly launched a counterattack!"
"He sprinted with the ball, and Herrera chased after him!
"He makes an Emergency stop and speeds up again!
" Herrera was left behind!
"Blind presses diagonally!

"Chinese people have a tradition that they like to serve tea to their guests.

"Thank you for training me!
"But I'm sorry, I have to score today!"
